1. “Writing a Quantitative Research”

3. What is Quantitative Research?
 The Quantitative Method places an emphasis not
only on measurements, but also on statistical,
mathematical, or numerical analysis of the data
acquired through polls, questionnaires, and surveys.
 Quantitative Research is distinguished by its
emphasis on the collection of numerical data to
characterize an individual occurrence or phenomena
that is the subject of the investigation.

4. What is Quantitative Research?
 Among the characteristics of quantitative research
is that it is measurable, uses numeric values and
statistical analysis. Number of respondents are
usually larger compared to qualitative. Utilizes
hypothesis for comparing variables.

5. What are the purpose of writing a Quantitative
Research?
 To identify the relationship that exists between one
variable (both dependent and independent) pertaining
to a population.
 To test a strategy, model or design.
 To describe an event or phenomenon being
investigated.
Research that uses quantitative method might be
descriptive, relational, or experimental.

6. What are the main characteristics of Quantitative
Research?
 The data are typically collected through the use of
organized research instrument, which is one of its
primary characteristics.
 The findings are based on sample sizes that are
enough to provide an accurate reflection of the total
population.
 Due to the high reliability of the study, it is typically
possible to replicate or repeat the research.

7. What are the main characteristics of Quantitative
Research?
 The research has a collection of well-defined questions
that it uses to try to answer the objective.
 Before any data collected, every aspect of the study has
been meticulously designed.
 The data are typically presented in the form of tables,
charts, and figures, and take of numerical information that
is analyzed statistically.
 In order to aquire numerical data, the researcher will
utilize techniques such as questionnaire, polls, and
surveys.

8. What are the strengths of Quantitative Research?
 Allows for a wider study, involving a greater number of
respondents.
 Allows for greater objectivity and accuracy of results.
 Applying well established standards means that the
research can be replicated, after which it can be analyzed
and compared with other studies of a similar nature.
 You can summarize vast sources of information and make
comparisons across categories.
 Utilizing statistical methods that are widely acknowledged
is one way to sidestep the influence of personal bias.

10. The Research Problem
 An issue or a research problem should be
recognized before preparing a research. As a result,
it is time to dispel the myth and misperception that
research begins with a title.

11. The following criteria will help you to identify the problem
or problems that need to be explored.
 Clear and concise.
 Relevant to the research writer’s academic fields of
study.
 Arouses the interest of the research writers.
 Familiarity with the problem or issue to be investigated.
 Novel, innovative and new that has not been used or
answered sufficiently.
 Sufficient data is available and can be obtained.
 Significant and important.
 Grounded on a theory.

12. The Research Title
 For initial formation of the research title, that use the
SMART acronym as a check list would prove vital and
significant.
S pecific – clear about what, where, when, and how
M easurable – able to quantify the targets and
benefits.
A ttainable – able to achieve the objectives.
R elevant – appropriate to the current time period.
T ime Bound – stating the time period which the study
will be accomplished.

13. The fundamental elements of forming a research title
are as follows;
Goal: refers to the specific objective of the study.
(Action)
Independent Variable: are not affected by any other
variable. (Issue/Problem)
Dependent Variable: are affected by any other
variable. (Respondents)
Locale: The specific area where the study is to be
conducted. (Area/Place)

15. The Statement of the Problem
 The SOP is composed of the general problem and
the specific problems.
 The specific problems should help answer the
objective of the research as reflected in the title.
 The specific problems should be relevant and
aligned with the direction or goal of the research.
 Present at least 3 minimum of 3 specific problems.

16. The Statement of the Problem
 The SOP is composed of the general problem and
the specific problems.
 The specific problems should help answer the
objective of the research as reflected in the title.
 The specific problems should be casted based on
the presented method of the study.
 The specific problems should be relevant and
aligned with the direction or goal of the research.
 Present at least 3 minimum of 3 specific problems.
